For more than 20 years the Boston Beanstalks have gathered on the first Friday night of the month at the Riverbend Lounge (formerly the Windjammer) at the Newton Marriott. This is the biggest regularly scheduled event on our calendar. It's not uncommon to see 40 or more tall people here, and you won't be the only new or prospective member! This is the place to start your social calendar planning, arrange carpooling for various events, and find out what's going on with all your Tall friends.

If there's enough interest, we'll head into the restaurant around 8:00 PM to continue the conversation and get something to eat.

Location: Marriott Hotel, 2345 Commonwealth Avenue (Rt. 30) in Newton
Time: 6-8 PM, usually dinner afterwards to 10pm
Cost: optional drinks
Directions: Rt. 128 to exit 24 (Rt. 30). At the end of the ramp, go right. The Marriott is just ahead on your left.

Due to my new job and losing 40 pounds, I need to go shopping! I've decided to take a trip up to the Tanger Outlet Mall in Tilton, NH. Anybody interested in coming along is welcome to join the carpool.

We'll meet in the parking lot of Joe's American Bar and Grill in Woburn (intersection of rts. 128 & 93). Then have lunch/brunch somewhere near the mall before starting our trek through the 50+ stores. There's even a Lane Bryant Outlet there. Here's a link to the mall's website if you're interested in more details Tanger Outlet - Tilton, NH.

Come join your Beanstalk friends for dinner and a movie. Just a reminder, it's $6.00 Tuesday night at the theater!

Those that come to dinner get to help pick the movie for the evening. The first to arrive will grab a table at Tony Pilla's (which is next door to the theater) around 6:30 PM. During dinner we will review what movies are playing and have a start time between 7:30 and 8:00 PM. Whatever the majority can agree on is what we'll see.

When you RSVP Marie will respond with her cell phone number so if you're running late and can't make dinner, you can find out what movie we've decided to see and when it starts.

Please don't come without RSVPing. Recently we ended up canceling dinner and eating in the theater instead because the movie we all wanted to see started to early to eat in the restaurant. I need to know who to contact if plans change.

Address for the Theater is:
National Amusements Showcase Cinemas Woburn
25 Middlesex Canal Parkway
Woburn, MA. 01801

Directions:
Take Rt. 128/95 to Exit 35 toward Wilmington/Woburn.

If you have Columbus Day off, why not start early anyway and get some excercise?

Let’s take advantage of the warm weather for as long as possible! Lovely Nahanton Park has a variety of habitats that make it attractive to migrating birds. Several different kinds of sparrows along with juncos, swallows, finches, and maybe a warbler should be about. They especially love the Victory Gardens areas, where there are lots of seeds on the plants. Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring binoculars if you have them. It’s not a lot of walking, but some of it is on unpaved paths.

The entrance to Nahanton Park is on Winchester St. in Newton, on the right just past the golf course as you head toward Needham. Turn left after entering and drive down to the parking area near the sign board/gate. This walk is also sponsored by the Brookline Bird Club.

If you RSVP "Yes", Sylvia will send you her cell phone number in case you have trouble finding her at the park.
